This involves studies on the stem cell basis of cancer through to the translation of new therapeutics into clinical development.Professor Kenneth BaillieProfessor of Experimental MedicineTranslational genomics in critical care medicine.Dr Tim BeanResearch FellowThe Roslin Institue shellfish team use molecular biology techniques to study bivalve molluscs, including fundamental aspects of bivalve biology, aquaculture, ecotoxicology and genetics which have direct industry and policy relevance. Dr David CollieGroup Leader/ReaderPathophysiologic mechanisms underlying lung disease.Dr Mike McGrewProfessorBiobanking and genome editing of avian germ cells Dr Gerry McLachlanGroup Leader/Senior Research FellowPreclinical studies to evaluate safety and efficacy of vectors for respiratory gene/miRNA delivery in mice & sheep. Sheep as a large animal model for respiratory disease.Dr Diego RobledoCareer Track FellowMy main interest is to understand responses to pathogens in aquaculture species. I use functional genomics to understand differences in resistance / susceptibility and learn about the genomic mechanisms underpinning successful immune responses. The final goal is to exploit this knowledge to produce disease resistant animals through genome editing and genomic selection.My research involves the whole range of genetic and genomic technologies, including genome assemblies and other genomic tools, animal breeding methods, functional genomics or genome editing.To learn more about the research of the aquaculture genetics group at the Roslin Institute, please visit https://www.ed.ac.uk/roslin/aquacultureProfessor Bruce WhitelawPersonal Chair of Animal BiotechnologyDevelopment of genetically engineered livestock for biomedical and agricultural applications.Dr Thomas WishartGroup LeaderElucidating the mechanisms underpinning neuronal development, stability and degeneration in health and disease.
